Blue State Shoots Down Ban On So-Called ‘Assault Weapons’

Colorado lawmakers narrowly voted down a state House bill calling for the ban of so-called ”assault weapons” on Wednesday, in a vote that included three Democrats joining with the Republicans to defeat the measure.

The Colorado bill, HB23-1230, would have made it illegal to manufacture, import, purchase, sell, or transfer an “assault weapon” and prohibit a person from possessing a rapid-fire trigger activator. After hours of debate, the lawmakers voted down the bill in a 7-6 vote.

A local gun rights organization, the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, organized hundreds of witnesses to testify against passing the proposed “assault weapons” ban.

“The turnout was very good, overflowing into other rooms with about six to one against the ban,” Shawn Herrin, who helped organize the witnesses, told the Daily Caller News Foundation  “The witnesses laid out concise arguments with good data and delved into the actual causes of mass killings.”

  1. So my question is, what would have happened if Colorado lawmakers had voted into law an across the board ban on rapid fire triggered assault rifles? Would the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners have gone to war against the State of Colorado or would they have surrendered all their now illegal rapid fire triggering rifles?

  2. 7:10 Rapid fire triggered weapons don’t kill, crazy people, YOU might call them mentally ill, are behind all the mass shooting. Statistics and research will also tell you that they all are democratic minded losers.

  4. It’s quite fascinating how so many of the pro-abortion zealots don’t have any issue with murdering in the womb babies; however, oppose the death penalty. The majority of liberals will never understand that guns are not the problem, it’s the criminals using the guns. A gun is an inanimate object like a shovel, a knife, a rake, a sledgehammer, a rock, and many other items. Any of those items could be used as a weapon to injure or kill a human being when in the hands of an individual intent to do harm. Gun control is not the answer, severe punishment to include the death penalty is.
    Many of these anti-gun groups, such as Moms Demand Action, don’t know the difference between the grip of a gun as opposed to the barrel of a gun. They are a threat to the second amendment.
